Summary
He walks toward Jayce, driven by a thousand hands on his back. Of people in that room, of ghosts, of his own mother. All pushing him toward Jayce and toward a future that metamorphosizes with every step he takes. Viktor can feel the winds shift and part of his story is wiped clean, unwritten by his own actions that night.
Viktor doesn’t look back. He allows Jayce to open the door for him, and steps out into the evening. The sunset is vibrant, gold and pink and explosive.
Feeling unaccepted by Piltover in the wake of his 28th birthday, Viktor returns to the Undercity for an annual festival to reconcile who he is with where he came from.
Things go south.

Summary
Jayce pauses to steady himself on the wall, he’s running out of strength in his arms. The other version of Viktor, the lonely mage who’d insisted there was only one, violent solution to the problem of himself, had reluctantly given him a tip. Physical touch , he had said, will temporarily disarm him. But you must kill him from a distance, do not let him get close.
***
Jayce loses his will to kill Viktor in the commune and has to come up with a plan B.

Summary
“I am guessing you have another invitation,” Viktor says softly. Jayce’s non-answer of shrugging his shoulders is enough of a confirmation for Viktor to continue. “The flowers did not work? Or the strongly worded letters?”
“Not even Mel is working with me on this. She says I have to go,” Jayce spits, “like I — like I’m expected to recite all our research on a coin flip. As if anyone there besides her will even understand it.”
He hides his eyes behind the cup of his hands, though Viktor knows he’s still staring down at their scattered notes for a distraction. Between vellum and coffee-stained sheafs of schematics is a familiar, albeit more elaborately decorated, square of near-black cardstock. Its gold filigree glitters in the frosted light coming in from the windows, yet it brings no warmth. No glee. No self-satisfaction at having caught it too late.
Viktor slides it out from between their notes with two fingers, leaving it on the tabletop for the both of them to read. Jayce’s name is prominent in thin, blocky text — another invitation, another offer for his time in exchange for a few hours of pretend in front of a flock that’s already made up its mind.

Summary
Ambessa tapped her cheek, seeming pressed by the cryptic nature of his words. “Speak, boy, or I will recant your status on time wasted alone.”
He curled his hand into a fist, leaning on the battle axe pressed into the floor.
“Your Majesty, I ask this and only this: that you surrender me to the service of Prince Viktor as His Highness’ sole, personal guard.”
The room went quieter than the faintest whisper, more stunned than a stolen breath.
“...Come again?” Ambessa asked, her voice severe.
--
Or, the one where Prince Viktor, the adopted son and political prisoner of the Medarda Clan reunites with the boy he made a Knight: the venerable Sir Jayce Talis. The Prince seeks freedom. And the Knight seeks revenge. But what matters most in the end, more than all politics and crusades, is that these two men, born in a time where not more than loyalty is even legal, are hopelessly, incandescently in love with each other.

Summary
They’re getting a new salesman at the Piltover branch of HexTech Incorporated. It’s probably the most exciting thing that has happened all year.
Viktor honestly couldn't care less.
“What if he’s hot, though,” Powder says because she is the worst.
